Legalized marijuana means more tax revenue

I'm in favor of CA Prop 19 to legalize marijuana. There are a number of reasons I support this, but the one I want to focus on now is the additional tax revenue.

California has serious budget problems, and anything that would help increase tax revenue is a good thing. While it's probably too late for this, it would be interesting to have a clause in the proposition that prevented any tax revenue generated from this proposition from going to districts that vote against it.
